mcafee what a load of %$i&
Had to install an old version of mcafee 2007 and then update it to the latest version on a client computer the other day. (they have paid their subscription upto end of next year
1PC wired straight into the modem/router has no problems apart from Mcafee takes the whole day to update, and makes the PC almost unusable. Once updated the PC is relatively quick. Next update the same thing happens. Download any file from the www and the unit works fine. (+- 7Mb line connection) downloads large files pretty quickly.
Uninstalled mcafee with the tool from mcafee's own site and used ccleaner to make sure ... then re-installed macafee .... made no difference.
Ended up formatting the PC and totally re-installing from scratch (win XP)
Tried re-installing mcafee ... program now reckons I must install wireless internet security even though the router doesn't have wireless nor the PC. Macafee then says no wireless connection detected and continues to install ..
Now there is an macafee error everytime the system starts saying "no wireless networks detected" and waits until you click OK. (can't diasable this in msconfig or registry ... it's part of the macafee service which has to start )
And now when it tries to update it takes for ever to update and the same thing happens. (unit is slow) I also tried to update it from a different internet location and still got the same problem.
Ended up removing macafee completely and switching to kaspersky now the PC is working nice and speedy and has no problems .... not happy
P.S soz I went on a bit but it was really peeing me off :)
